[quote=Maccabees]Ok what the heck does #9 mean?
Ok how can they have an altar call when they don’t have an altar in their church?

Maccabees:
I believe it means keeping the word of God in your heart.
You brought up a good point about the altar. Catholics have an altar that we use for the “Once for all Sacrifice”, something Protestants don’t believe in; yet they use the term “altar”.
I listed the terms by number, Steve Ray has them together in paragraph form.

[quote=mango_2003]Wow…nothing like throwing every single disputed idea between Roman Catholics and Protestants into one post and then not backing up any of them.

Offensive.

We can back them up with Scripture. When a Prot asks you " if you have taken Jesus as your personal Savior", ask him/her to show you that phrase in Scripture.
You can find Scripture that sounds familiar , but it isn’t the same thing.

Anglicans/Episcopalians; Lutherans, and Methodists have “altars” in their churches. Can the really be called that, most of them don’t believe in the sacrafice. Peace out!

Most think we took it out but don’t even know it’s from the Didache, a non cononical NT book. My question is …how then did it come to be in the KJV of the Bible…the one they all say is the accurate one?

[quote=Church Militant]Hey…don’t forget the addition of the doxology to the Lord’s Prayer!

You obviously don’t know Protestantism. Very few denominations are KJV-onlyist. Most use NIV or NASB, or some other version. Many many many Protestants use the RSV, a version that was approved by the Vatican (at least the version I have…RSV w/ Aprocrypha appendix).

The only prot denomination that believes in sacrifice of the mass are Anglicans all other denoms reject the idea of sacrifice of the mass.
And all that practice the altar call have no altar since they don’t believe in the sacrafice of the mass. Anglicans don’t practice this more recent protestant innovation.

Actually, he makes a very valid point. Since our Protestant brethren often accuse Catholics of adding “man-made” traditions to God’s word, Protestants should now try to justify the very things they seem to condemn, as the list of unscriptural Protestant practices and teachings in the original post shows.

it’s been mentioned, time and again, on this forum, that it’s not possible to say what ‘protestants believe’, as there are so many disparate views between various denoms, churches, and even members. so it’s argumentative to say ‘you don’t know protestantism’.

the point of the post, as has been mentioned, is that we can see better when removing specks if we’ve taken out our logs first.

I agree with you, Jeffreedy.

Mango, it is really hard to pinpoint protestant-made doctrines since you all have different and opposing views. Who among you is really guided by the Holy Spirit?

This may be true, therefore, IMHO, such blanket statements should be avoided.

The important point to make is that the Catholics DID NOT ADD to the Bible, the Protestants SUBTRACTED from the Bible.

Also, Martin Luther ADDED words to the Bible that were not there. When he was confronted with this sin of adding to the Bible he replied: “Bacause Dr. Martin Luther will have it so!” This man was one ego-maniac with delusions of popehood.

Anyway, the version of the Old Testament used by Jesus, the Apostles, and the Church since the first century is the version of the Old Testament in the Catholic Bible.

I always say, “If it was good enough for Jesus, it is good enough for me!” God Bless,
